Murphy was soon involved in the action again after the break, making a second outstanding save, this time to deny Chris Gunter as he connected firmly with a close-range shot as he went in search of his second goal in two games.

He then challenged for the ball at the feet of Blackstock, as the striker threatened to burst clear on the edge of the box.

Unfortunately the keeper's bravery earned him an injury and he was replaced by Josh Lillis.

And the substitute shot-stopper could do little when Chambers rose powerfully at the near post to force home a powerful header in the 71st minute, as Cohen delivered a fine ball from Forest's tenth corner of the game.

Five minutes later the win was secured as Anderson raced to the byline on the right and cut a fizzing low ball across the face of goal, with Blackstock bundling home as Wright challenged.
